15．After I made it to the city center，I started to feel it might be easy for a foreigner to deal with the great size of Beijing．With growing confidence，I decided to take the subway to the hotel，not realizing that the network didn't go that far．Impressed with the cleanliness of the station，I bought a ticket and boarded the first train that came along．
After a few minutes I asked in English of course a young man seated next to me where I should get off closest to the Friendship Hotel．Wearing a smart business suit and tie，he would surely speak English，wouldn't he？Unfortunately，he couldn't understand me but seemed very friendly．I showed him the room card with all the information of the Friendship Hotel in Chinese characters．He looked at it，and then his eyes moved quickly to the carriage （车厢） subway map．Next，he raised three fingers of his right hand．
In Australia，raising fingers at someone is not usually nice，but this man wasn't smiling．At the next station he showed me two fingers．Now in Australia，that's really rude，but I got the message．When we stopped at the third station，he didn't just point to the door，but got up，took me out of the train，and led me to the top of the stairs，and out onto the street．Then he stopped a taxi and told the driver where to take me．
All this came from a man who couldn't speak my language，and I couldn't speak his．I was now speechless，especially when he refused my offer of money．I felt a little embarrassed having even thought he would accept a tip．
This experience made it clear I had to learn some Chinese quickly or my adventures might start turning into bad luck．

12．A newly discovered planet looks just right for life as we know it，according to an international group of astronomers．Orbiting a star about 500light-years away，the planet called Kepler-186f is about the same size as Earth．It orbits its star at the right distance for liquid water on the surface．That is a necessary condition for life as we know it．
But it is not exactly like Earth，NASA planetary scientist Elisa Quintana said．"It's more of an Earth's cousin．It's not an Earth's twin．It shares the same characteristics as Earth，but their parent stars are very different，"said Quintana．
Kepler-186f orbits a star that is smaller and cooler than our sun．But，writing in the journal Science，the astronomers say the planet appears to be a closer relative than most of the hundreds of others discovered so far．Some are massive gas-covered giants with thick，crushing atmospheres．Others orbit too close to their stars and are too hot for life．
Two planets discovered last year are in the right orbit and might be good candidates for life，Quintana says，but they are a bit bigger than Earth．"For the first time，we can actually say we now have a planet that is both Earth-sized and orbits in its star's habitable zone，"she said．
It may be the first time，but it probably is not the last，says Massachusetts Institute of Technology astrophysicist Sara Seager．"We've been waiting decades to understand how common habitable planets might be，and it's looking like they're really common．And this gives us excitement and motivation to take the next step，"said Seager．
The next step would be to look for signs of life in the atmospheres of these distant worlds．That would take a more sophisticated （高端的；复杂的） space telescope．But budget cuts threaten that mission，says University of California at Los Angeles astrophysicist Ben Zuckerman．"In principle，we could do this in the next few decades．But in practice，because there's no money，it's not gonna happen．It's not gonna happen in my lifetime，for example．"
Leaving earthbound concerns behind，NASA's Elisa Quintana believes that when the next-generation space telescope is launched，it will find that we are not alone in the universe．

63．What does the underlined word"That"（Paragraph 1）refer to？B
A．The right distance． B．Liquid water．
C．The right size． D．A star．
64．According to Elisa Quintana，Kepler-186fA．
A．is more of an Earth's cousin than an Earth's twin
B．has a lot in common with Earth，including their parent stars
C．is a lot bigger than Earth
D．is smaller and cooler than our sun
65．Ben Zuckerman and Elisa Quintana would probably agree thatC．
A．they can continue their research without worrying about money
B．it is the last time that they have discovered such a planet
C．a sophisticated space telescope plays an important role in their research
D．Earth is the only planet where we can find signs of life
66．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？D
A．Where there is water，there is life
B．A planet exactly like Earth found
C．Life discovered on Kepler-186f
D．New Earth-size planet found．

19．I was a medical student．To gather data for my paper，I started visiting patients at Dr．Sardjito Hospital，where I would review the medical records of patients and then interview them．
One evening，I was in a ward，desperately"hunting"for the final three patients I needed to complete my study．Holding a patient questionnaire，I walked towards a room．A patient called Ms A was lying in bed，clearly still weak．There were no relatives or friends with her．Even the bed beside her was empty．I sat down on a chair next to her bed，and in a low voice I introduced myself and asked if I could gather some additional information from her．She agreed．After I finished，I prepared to leave．Before I could stand up，Ms A said，"I haven't seen you here before，doctor．Are you new？""Not really，Madam．It's just that I don't come here every day，"I replied．Ms A started talking about herself．She shared her difficulties and sufferings，talked about her husband，who was killed in a car accident，and that she struggled to earn money．All I did was nod my head as a way of showing my sympathy．
Without realizing it，I had begun holding Ms A's hand．Finally，Ms A stopped talking．"I'm very sorry for keeping you here to listen to my problem，but I feel relieved now．I had no one to pour out my problems to．"Tears fell from the corner of her eyes．Finally，I knew what to say．"It's OK，Madam．It's part of my duty．"I stood up and waved goodbye．A few days later，when I returned to the ward，I discovered Ms A had left the hospital as her condition had improved．
Ms A taught me the most important lessons a doctor can learn．Sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine．They just need someone with the patience and willingness to lend an ear and spare a little of their time．

A．She had lost her husband and kids

9．Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian were on a trip to Canada to（64）visit （visit） their cousins．They decided to catch （65）the train，The True North，to cross the whole continent．They began their journey （66）in Vancouver，a city （67）surrounded（surround） by mountains and the Pacific Ocean．Aboard the train，the cousins （68）settled（settle） down in their seats．When they crossed the Rocky Mountains，they managed to catch （69）sight（sight） of some mountain goats and even a grizzly bear and an eagle．After two days'travel，the girls began to realize that Canada is quite empty．At school，they had learned that most Canadians live within a few hundred kilometers of the USA （70）border（bord），and that Canada's population is only（71）slightly（slight） over thirty million，but still they were （72）amazed（amaze） to see such a large country with so small a population．That night as they slept，the train rushed southward towards Toronto，the biggest and most wealth city（73）inCanada．

16．It is common to have difficulties sleeping during the day．Humans are naturally wired to sleep best at night and be awake during the day．However，modern work schedules require some people to try to accommodate the unnatural schedule of shift（轮班）work-being awake at night and sleeping during the day．
In order to make this adjustment，you need to pay special attention to your sleep environment and your preparation for sleep．If shift work is a necessary part of your work life，here are some suggestions that may help．
Arrange to sleep uninterrupted in a quiet，dark room．This means you may have to turn off or unplug your phone，hang darkening curtains on the windows or wear a sleep eye mask，and train your family and friends to leave you alone while you sleep．
Fit in a nap（小睡）．When your daytime sleep period is too short，taking a short nap of less than 30minutes just before work or on a break has been shown to improve alertness and enhance performance．
Develop and follow a sleep routine．It's best if you go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day．Try not to vary this too much at weekends．Your body likes routine．
Take extra care to make healthy choices．You may be tempted to reach for unhealthy foods or nicotine to stay awake or alcohol to try to sleep．But ultimately these choices are more harmful than helpful．
If you have tried all these things and are still having problems getting enough quality sleep during the day，talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist．Sometimes medications（药物治疗）may be helpful and safe．In other cases，there may be an underlying sleep disorder that needs to be addressed．
